There are two mis takes that people with weak lungs arc liable to make ; and both arc about equally baa: une 1 is to not jtive atten tion quick ly enough to the little coufths and bronchial troubles 1 which to rapidly un- Qcrmine the dcllcato luns: tissue and philips v o it into nnuntptian almost before you are aware if it: the other is when the trouble is at last discovered and fully realized to give up hope too toon. Begin with thess bioticulal and thioat ailments the Instaut they appear ; never .wait till to-morrow, The right remedy taken now may save mouths of severe, ill. ness. On the other band if the illness ha already come upon you; and you find your self weakened, wasted and discouraged, dj not lose hope.

INTRODUCTION. The book of Ezeklel was designed to prepare tho Jewish captives for return to their homes. It consists of a series of hold and Impressive visions, much like theme granted to John. Their deliv ery began B, C, C95, and continued during tho spaco of twenty-one years, Tho vision of the dry 'bones, studied last week, predicted tho restoration and sought to revive the national hope. Seventeen years after the prophet was made to know the glory that would rome wh.n the exiles were gathered In their own land. Ho saw the nev tem ple which should bo built at Jerusalem, the well appointed ordinances of the nl tar. the ministrations of the priests, nnd learned the rules for rubllc wor ship. A'ter these plctnrlul representa tions enmc a figurative nnd vivid por trayal of the religious benefits, proceed ing from the temple, as the center of the lellgloim life of the nation, de scribed In today's lesson. WATERS. (Verses 1 nnd 2). Brought to the door of tho temp'j, Ereklel found waters Issuing from the threshhoM, the fountain of which np- Parcd to to on the south slJo of tno altar. There Is no mistaking the sig nificance of this. Water Is mentioned many limes In Scripture as nn emblem of salvation. See the great Invitation (Isaiah, lv, 1) and the beautiful allu sion of the weeping prophet (Jeremiah, II. 13). Tho son of Pethuel, In the elghtlr century, predicted the great good (Joel, III, IS), and Jesus used tho same term In the same way (John, lv, 10), possibly recalling a familiar pro phetic utterance (Zacharlah, xlll, 1). Ezeklel saw these waters emerging from the temple. Indicative of the well known fact that the church Is the me dium of divine grace, and he saw them flowing northward and eastward, from which direction had come the Assyrian and Chaldean armies, bringing all tho woes upon Israel and Judah. Here Is a counter religious Influence to over come tho national misfortunes. INCREASE. (Verses 3, 4 nnd 5. The vision was panoramic, and various changes wcro Introduced. Flowing forth from the sanctuary the waters constantly Increased. The angel at tending the prophet took four measure ments a thousand cubits ap'irt find ing that what was at first but ankls deep became at last a river In which a man might swim. This wni directly opposed to whnt might have been ex pected. A liquid diffuses Itself nnd ultimately disappears. This Increase Is a figurative representation of tho king dom of grace, small and Insignificant at Its beginning, but growing In Its progress. Other Old Testament writ ers (Habakuk, II, 14) set forth the same Idea but In different terms. (Isaiah, xl, 9). This was tho Intent of Jesus In the parable of the mustard seed (Matt. xl, 31, 32), all of which has been real ized In the marvelous spread of Chris tianity. On the day of Pentecost the church numbered one hundred nnd twenty souls (Acts, 1, 15), nil in Jeru salem, while now live hundred millions In all lands confess Christ. at 12 ni. At 7.30 p. m. Dr. J.

XLVJl:l-2. TREES. (Verses C nnd 7.) A sec ond Change In tho vision presented a large number of trees which sprang up on both sides of the river, nnd the prophet looked with wonder. This symbolized the transformation which would be effected through the lienlgn Influence of religion upon men. As the earth was cursed because of sin (Genesis, 111, IS) the bowers of Eden exchnnged for thorns and thistles, so with man's return to God, I'nrndlso will be rrsiored, nnd the wilderness nhnll be made to blossom ns tho rose (Isaiah, yxxv. 1.) That this represen tation Is Just no one can doubt who considers what has transpired In every land whor pure religion has gone. The whole fact of external nature has been changed, nnd In many places the consideration approaches that which was seen by John (Revelations, xxll, 4). It Is probable that this feature In EzeklePs vision had reference to the personal blessings which men would enjoy (Psalm, 1, 4) as elsewhere de scribed. (Jeremiah, xvll, 8.) LIFE. (Verses 8 and 9.) In Its third change the vision opens a still larger nnd moro Interesting view. It Is declared by the angel that "every thing shall live whither tho river com eth." Special mention la made of tho multitude of fishes that shall be pro duced, possibly, as the rabbis thought, because these were tho earliest forms of animal life (Genesis, 1. 20). but more likely because the fish live In the wnter nnd arc dependent upon It. 'i his mighty river, entering the Dead Sea, where no life was found, would cause life to spring forth nnd nbound. Tho Intention Is to tench that religion In its onward progress carries life to the dead. Not merely Is man protect ed against danger (Isaiah, xl, 9) and permitted to enjoy greater comfort, hut a higher Intellectual and a richer splr'tunl life conies through tho gos pil (John, I, 4). Hence Jesus declared that the purpose of His coming to earth was to bring more abundant life to men. (John, x, 10). And certain It Is that the Christian lives as no other does or can. SERVICE.-(V. 10) Carrying out the figure last employed, the angel com pletes tho account by representing men on tho banks of the river who come to ply their arts ns Ushers. They are to be seen along ull the water-course, and along tho side of the sea Into which the stream Unwed, even from Engedl to Eneglalm, two towns on opposite banks of the Dead Sea. There they spread their nets In a safe well-watered place. These fishers represent the min isters of religion, (Matt. lv:19) who gather along the waters of salvation, who havo no other hope of renchlns men, who would esteem all other places and devices vain and useless, who bring here with great gladness their various helps and labor with marked success In tho service of their Master. (1 Cor. xv:5R.) So long as they faith fully perform their part souls arc gath ered In and added to tho household of the righteous.

PLAYS AND PLAYEBS. The extinction of Augustin Daly s dram, atlo compapy was an Inevitable conre duenco of his death. Tho obvious 1'UbO.i was qulto sufllclent In ths minds of thoso who give close .mention to theatrical af fairs. Tho organization hud ceased to yield cither satisfactory diversion to Its 'ild-tlme following or adc-irutiio remunera tion to Its manager 011 th urtUtle l.ivel where li had formerly pioi.pi-rc.1. I was by dint of assigning his actors to musical farces und mechanic il melodrama and putting H"lil tho more distillled plays, old ,'iMd ni'W. 1'iai Mr. J'alv contrived to do anything l'.w a prolllulilc business u'.i'lng the last two or three years of his life. This muni have been a sore bacrlltce of artistic ptlile. Mr. Duly was wont to tint? hit. stau ctrecr from "Lenh, the For. uaken," although It wns merely his free translation from tho tiennun, and to let the record of "1'nder the Gaslight" grow dim, although that famous moneymaker was his original composition. It must havo been In sadness nnd dcsp ration, therefore, thut ho nt length put "Tho Greut Ruby, or tho "Kiss of Blood" Into tho theatro of his prouder achievements. Naturally his widow and brother did not deem It prudent to float a. leaking ship that had lrat Its master. Tho project of placing Ada lU-han In charg whllo It may have seemed feasible to outsiders, was never for n moment possible I'niler theso circitmstuiH'ts It Is fortiiiiato that Daly's thpatro bus hen acquired ly Charles Frohninn His taking of a sev enth theatre in this city Is not of itself consequential. That manager can hard ly do anything to astonish , public 11c customed to his Napoleonic energy and ambition. The thliur of special Import ance In this his lutpst enterprise Is that he will plnce bis brother In cout'ol .f the house. Daniel Frohman Is the one man of proven ability to tako Aurustln Daly's rtaso nnd restore It to Its best ebfite. It has been at the Lyceum only that the Daly niceties aud elegances have been equalled. Other managers havo been moro liberal In expenditures und moro striking In general results, but AupLstin Daly nnd Daniel Frohmnn live divided American distinction for tasteful Mends of dramatic art and modish munner the wholly !atlsfnctnry trinsfer of polito llfo to the stage. Tho obliteration f the Daly company Is a matter of sentimental re gret, but It began with ho secession of John Drew. It proceeded v.ith thu depth f Chnrles Fisher and Jnmea Lewis, and it was bo far advanced that Ada Rchan wns all that wns left of value to be de. predated In Drury Lano melodrama. The stock company of the l,ycouni, uhlrh Is to bo transferred to Daly's. ' qualified by general ability und rpeclul training, to occupy that stage, worthily. Kg doubt the facilities of Charles Frohman In com mundlng tho first choice uf plays from tho world over, and of tho best actors to perform them, will strengthen ump'y what wns latterly weak In .Mr. Daly's management. Wo may look not only, therefore, for a contlnuanco of Daly's trjeatro in name, but ns well for a full revival of what It was when It led all our theatres In progressive modern singe art. New York Bun. Henry Miller begins his third starring season under management at the Herald Square theatre on Sept. IS In "Tho Only Wny," now approaching Its-two hund redth night In London, where It has been MARSHES (V. 11.) A little distance from tho hcnllng nnd llfo-glving stream there might bo seen ground of little or no value, miry places In which n man or beast might sink, covered with salt, ns In the day when God destroyed tho cities of the plain. (Gen. xlx:26.) There was no power to redeem those lands and make them ready for the fisher's nets, simply because the water that proceeded from the temple had not (lowed that way. This llgure Is In tended to Illustrate the desolate con dition of tho world where tho gospel has not gone. See the benighted condi tion of the heathen, whoso shocking degradation awakens profound pity In the hearts of all who behold them. (Rom. 1:24.) See the deplorable state of the ungodly In our great cities. In darker Ixindon nnd In tho haunts of shame In New York. Nothing can purify these sinks of Iniquity but th" stream of salvation. I'ntil that pours Its waters Into the homes and hearts of the miserable people, they must for ever remain whnt they nrc. RUITAGE (V. 12). An old English writer Interprets this verso as referring to believers, OPsalm 1:2) and snys, "Wherever the gospel Is successfully preached nourishment and delight are afforded to tho souls of men. They never fade or wither, or are exhausted Their fruitage according to the circum stances und occasions, Is various, a" If a tree should yleM a succession o' different kinds of fruit In great nbund nnco through the months of the year: and even the leaves serve as medicine to their souls. The warnings and re proofs of the word, nnd the salutary corrections of tho Father's rod, though generally less valued, and always less pleasant, tTian Divine consolations, yet tend to heal their maladies an( to re store them to holiness and hap Iness." If believers are intended, tho jjblem shows that they are rendered flourish ing nnd useful by tho spirit and word of God, that they exercise various graces in succession, nn that their doctrine and practice tend to benefit mankind. SUMMARY. The more carefully wo examine the things of God nnd relig ion, tho more Interesting will be our discoveries. All our invaluable privileges and advantages arc conveyed to us through the gospel. They flow In a steady stream from Christ, our Temple, our Altar, our Door springing from tho everlasting love and mercy of God, through His atoning sacrifice. (John 111:16.) No obstructions of men can Interrupt the communication of spiritual blessings from the fulness of Christ to tho souls of His beloved peo ple; and the course of the greatest riv ers might far more easily bo stopped, than tho progress of His gospel through tho labors of His servants. It has hitherto diffused Its lnllucnce grad ually, and It will run wider, and deeper In Its energy nnd effects, until It shall till, heal and fructify the whole earth. Such wns the sublime teaching con veyed to Ezeklel to encourage him and make him faithful to the captive Jews In Babylon. played at tho Lyceum, nnd Is now at the Prlneo of Wales' theatre. It Is a produc tion of Importance and gles Mr. Miller splendid opportunities. Mr. Frohman has secured a dramatiza tion of "David llarum" nnd "The Brixton Burglar." The Frohman companies will remain about the same with few changes.

Miss Sluudo Adams' success ns Juliet was such as to warrant another Shakespearean produc tion with her, and this has been selected and partially mapped out.

I saw him at noon of tho Hummer day, and that wub tho fuvorito hour To 0110 who bad hunted from March to May and never had found u. Mower; For the light was full as though tho &un wero aiding his etiger quest. And thcro wero no warning shadowtf to ,run o'er his path from cast to west. And still 111 September's purple and gold ho was hunting the grudglrig ground, But not with tho Btcjdy eye of old or tho ?prlngtlmo'H Joyous bound; If ho stopped In his feverish roaming, 'twas to question the darkling air; Too early cume tho gloaming; lie wan searching with despair. And while, for a chance of tho rarest, ho wanders In storm op. heat. Ho Is blind to tha charm of the fairest; ho Is crushing beneath his feet The flower of every valley, the flower of all the year, Deep-in -whco. broken-h)iMotv.h. dew lies like a tear. Tho Century.
